 Recently, my family and I flew from Orlando, Florida to Sydney, Australia. My daughter was gifted this trip by the amazing organization Make a Wish Foundation who grants wishes to kids with life-threatening illnesses. Read more about her story HERE. Although I knew this would be a trip of a lifetime, I was really stressed out in the days […]

 This is from a new project I started with some fellow moms of Kids with Chronic Conditions: You can find it here: www.FastBreak40.com It’s a project I am passionate about and have had in my heart since we first began to breathe after Vivia’s diagnosis. If you have a child with a Chronic Condition, Birth […]  Vivia was chosen to attend Camp Boggy Creek this summer – she’s (as I write) packing her bags to arrive tomorrow. This place is something else. TO say it is special is a huge understatement. We went for one weekend for one of their family retreats back in April – so we got to experience it […]  This year for Father’s Day, I wanted to do something really creative for my babydaddy husband. After hours and hours of scouring Pinterest and finding loads of good ideas (click here to see my Father’s Day Pinterest Board I put together for my Lovely Project article I am writing…) I still decided to branch out […]  So, here we are at the two year mark with Vivia being treated for JDM. Here she is a couple of weeks ago. So grown up. Life as we knew it ceases to exist. We have a new life with new foods, new routines, new habits, new heartaches, and new “normals”. Vivia continues to […]

You are such a warrior, Free. I love you for your courage, your faith and your unrelenting love for Vivs. My family stands with you in hopes that healing is closer now than it has ever been, and knowing that our Father has a firm grip on everything concerning your sweet family. You and Vivia have our prayers. You are loved.

I don’t normally pray for overcast weather and rain especially since we have had more than our fair share here this year, but I am praying that, whatever it takes, your time in Aus is a blessing to you and your family and that KidsSong is all Vivia has dreamt of.

I have a sweet friend in her twenties who was diagnosed with Lupus when she was a child. With her mom’s (and others’) prayer and fasting, she has been ‘in remission’ since she was a little girl. God is good.

BOYS Jacob Mason Ethan Noah William Liam Jayden Michael Alexander Aiden GIRLS Sophia Emma Isabella Olivia Ava Emily Abigail Mia […]  Before I say anything, I need to say that this is not going to be an unbiased review on Oz the Great and Powerful. That would be impossible since I am already a huge Wizard of Oz fan. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on that spectacular movie.The music, the imagination, […]  So, how is life with three? Just take a look at the date of my last blog post, and that will tell you… I am blogging regularly over at The Lovely Project but, I don’t have much time for personal projects lately… But I do need to put some pix of our SWEET LIFE of JOY, […]  Good morning, beautiful families! I wanted to share, real quick that a story I wrote about our (mostly my, as her mom) journey with JDM has posted this morning on a blog called The Lovely Project. It would be awesome if the website was flooded with other moms piping (commenting/sharing) in about their experiences and […]

[…] So, here we are at the two year mark with Vivia being treated for JDM. […]  I don’t know about you, but I was SICK of picking up toys all day long. To try and contain this, I created a playroom which I thought would take care of the problem. We had bins labeled, and a place for everything, and all that jazz; but the kids still could not grasp the […]

Freedom, this cracks me up just a little, remembering what our dorm room used to look like! I specifically remember you having to scale a pile of discarded clothes on the floor, just to get to your bed! I’m pretty sick, myself, of having to pick up toys (and dishes, and homeschooling stuff). I might have to try your system. Karina
